Attention ST readers!!!!

attention-st-readers

For all that read Shattered Tranquility this is for you. We are always trying to go the extra mile to bring you news and entertainment. Due to this we also feel the obligation to post important matters that may or may not have a direct impact on you. I seriously debated actually posting this on the site, I am a laid back kind of guy. I really hate getting involved in things. Due to the nature of the content and the massive amount of friends this individual has on the internet….I feel required.

Anyone that has a Mixi or a MySpace may or may not have seen this certain individual. The Agency she claims to work for has issued a statement denying her claim. You can read more about the issue here. You can also find more on her here.

Also, there is a mixi community dedicated to spreading the word located here. Please use your best judgement regarding this issue. It is not the place of the ST staff or myself to try to force anything upon our readers. When we read issues like this we feel obligated to protect our readers from harm. We love you guys, you are awesome!

This is Big Ern, and I’m out for the night. I hope everyone has a safe weekend.

August 27th edit - I’m just relaying the message here. Apparently I was told the myspace pages were hacked and deleted. The mixi community is still available but you can also check out the following links for more details:

FaLSe aLarM

Posted on August 17, 2008 at 1:23 pm (2 Comments)

false-alarm

A certain NeWS site posted that Neu was disbanding.  We posted on the 14th the correct information that the band is pausing activities and going on hiatus because of Jun’s condition.

I woke up this morning and saw on a few neu communities that they were disbanding.  And when I see things like this I usually check the OHP to verify that they’re true, but guess what? It turns out that this other news SiTE posted wrong information so now people think Neu is disbanding.  Of course they fixed the mistake, but now there are people going around spreading that the band has disbanded when they have not.

So this post is to make everything clear. Neu is not disbanding. They are on hiatus because of Jun’s condition.  Spread the word guys. The right word.

s-rnet

Tomozo’s label - Sequence Records has been around for awhile, but their site opened up in 2004 and every time they do a face lift on the site they seem to get rid of everything besides the mobile site! This isn’t the case this time since when you go to the url you get an error.

Finally Tomozo updated his blog with a message asking us to please wait for a restoration (-_-;) So either there were server problems or they are doing another face lift!! Either way never fear the site will return!! *whew*

Lucy news

Posted on May 11, 2008 at 7:31 am (No Comments)

lucy-news

As for some exciting news, Lucy’s first maxi-single, which Miku talked about in this post, was sold out already on the release date! The bandmembers were quite surprised, but of course very happy and grateful for this unexpected success of their single.

Because they want as many people as possible to hear their music, they’ve also decided that a second pressing of the single will be released! The first press was limited to only 300 copies, and the second press will be even smaller with only 200 copies, but hopefully this will mean that 200 more people will get to hear the single!

Also, this is not a news or anything, but just something I thought I should point out here, too: so far, ~歪~ has been romanized as ~Ibitsu~ everywhere, but the band has just updated their myspace and added the correct romanization for the song. Instead of ~Ibitsu~, the name should be read as ~Yugami~.

Ryonai just updated Blam Honey’s myspace with this graphic:

Their new logo is amazing!

Sooo what do you guys think?? Also notice a new HP url!!! So far nothing is upload to the new domain as of yet but keep a look out!! Sounds like a rebirth no!? XD *excited like whoa* ^^;

vocals for GACHI-GUMI?

Posted on March 26, 2008 at 3:59 am (No Comments)

vocals-for-gachi-gumi

ex.Cellt’s MitoTakuma’s new band GACHI-GUMI, had their first live a couple days ago at Harajuku. I was hoping since the live has passed that they would update their freaking profile page with the singer’s image. I started searching through google and the Cellt community came up. Apparently the singer may be Jin Shirosaki… wait…what this..Jin? From the drama - Delicious Academy?

shirosakijin.jpg
Well bandmen have acted in dramas before, and actors have joined bands so its not too far off I guess, a member of the lj community went to their first live and was able to vouch that the singer is in fact Jin but just in case until the site is updated I guess I will tag this as gossip. What do you guys think? The image looks similar to the site’s pic no?

10 PTS!

10-pts

I’m back! Megacon was nice. I met someone who recognized me from LJ and I found S~T fans as well as converted a few people. So welcome~!

I’m not going to do a report on Megacon, but I’ll post some cosplay pictures I took featuring a Bergerac cosplayer, an AILE (Yue) cosplayer, and a few Gazette because everyone and their mother loves Gazerock….

Be cautious though. A few of these won the failing game.

Brain Hacker = Art Cube

Posted on February 17, 2008 at 1:47 pm (10 Comments)

brain-hacker-art-cube

Okay so many rumors are already floating around that the boys from Brain Hacker are now in Tomozo’s label as Art Cube! Ok well, another rumor is that Seiji was also the Moi dix Mois’ vocals - under the name Seth. Its true about Brain Hacker forming Art Cube but has anyone heard official news that Seiji is Seth - vkdb states they are the same singer. If you look below you can see some images I collected of Seiji and his former bands…you guys can see for yourself that Seth looks like Seiji. You can also see an Art Cube live on youtube by searching - Art Cube live XD; if you want to compare live voices.

SO if Seiji is Seth how is he going to balance MdM and Art Cube? I know MdM usually take time before releasing singles/albums but what about lives? Do you guys think Mana will seek a new vocalists or will Seiji…or um Seth (wtf this is getting confusing) will balance both? I am super happy because 1) I adore Seiji’s vocals and 2) I adore Sequence Records!!

Changes

changes

I actually posted this in my personal LJ and Addy thought it would be great to post here, so here it goes.

I stumbled across some old exist†trace pictures, I remember them looking like this. I remember when the band use to look like they rolled around in black crayons. This just goes to show that a band’s visual can improve with time. Some of the best bands looked god awful when they started.

Keep on going, more under the cut. »
